Clippers @ Warriors Playoffs Gm. #3 Game Thread 2014-04-24 (P. 25)

Game 4 next, Blake should practice his FT in GSW. But I like his attitude.

I used to like him as a player, but he's a whiner and a trash talker, probably hanging out with Jordan Crawford too much. Curry' the only guy I have respect for on that roster.

Who cares if it was a foul on CP3!

The NBA owed a few for kicking blake out on the christmas game and for the non foul call at the end of game 1.

Should not have been that close, but good win!!

He really is very cocky. He said his team will make more 3s at the next game. His answers to reporters' questions really have no depth to them. He doesn't seem like a bright bulb. A great shooter, yes, but not someone to be admired for his all-around play, intellect, and character.

Right now, Mark Jackson is pleading with the NBA to send the Game One officials over for Game Four. TNT will spring for their airfare.

I see Klay differently. I just like his approach of the game. IT's better to be confident on your skills. I understand he trash talk, but that's his competitive sides seeking out. Just like his approach to the game.

MVP: Deandre Jordan. Without him, I don't know how Clips will play defense, rebounds, or block shot. He save our butt on defensive sides immensely. He definitely deserves that contract!

Paul needs to get right thought that is the only worry. But on a really positive note, how about DJ? He's my favorite player this playoffs. Total beast. He looks incredible and his foul shooting isn't even atrocious.

I do want to give props to Steph, his post-game interview was fair. Understood the situation at the end, called it a 50/50 call, and didn't whine about it.

He has literally whined and cried before and after every single game of this series. It's really getting old. But everyone hates the Clippers so it's applauded.

I have a feeling DLee will be traded with the emergence of draymond. Plus they still have to sign klay big money. Can't keep all of them.

Freethrows are an issue. 10/23 will not cut it. We have to capitalize on every chance for points.

I'm glad you're a Clippers fan, BaadMaster. The more the merrier and the more strength in numbers as we attend Clippers' Championship Parade! I've been cheering for the Clippers since December 2012 only so I'm a relative newbie. Compared to the dysfunctional Lakers, the Clippers are definitely the FUN and COMPOSED team. Clippers fans unite: old and new!

This is the only reason it was even close. We make a few more and have a 20+ pt lead in the 4th and there is no comeback. Final score was closer than it really was because of a few lucky shots. This was almost a WIRE TO WIRE victory!

Not quite - they don't call them the splash brothers for nothing. Those weren't flukes. It was a combination of free throws, dumb fouls, turnovers, and offensive stagnation. Long story short - we lost our poise. There can be no let up against any playoff team. Blake's free throw struggles were odd but I think he will bounce back.

A lot of people at ESPN are picking the Clippers to win the Western Conference. I think that's some respect. I hope they can do it, but I think this year serves as a stepping stone to a championship in a year or two.

I wish you guys understood how annoying their fans are. I can't stand living in NorCal almost solely based on their sports fans. I am however excited once it's football season, I went to both Niners and Raiders games last year to get my football fix lol

Anyways, glad we got the win. Time to wear my jersey to work tomorrow! Wooo

You're very welcome here, mate.

I've been saying for the past couple of years that the Clippers are capturing the next generation of LA basketball fans... the 5-10-year-olds that will soon be the desirable 18-24 "disposable-income" demographic... while the lakers are still focused on milking the last few dollars from those kids' rapidly aging parents.

As far as I remember, you have a kid(s?) who like the Clips and got your interest sparked. That, coupled with the fact that the lakers ownership has passed into the current butter-fingered hands, makes you look more like a visionary than a turncoat.

Don't feel the need to explain yourself any further... you're a Clippers fan now, albeit a new one. I'm only 10 years invested myself, so I too feel somewhat guilty that I've seen playoff action for 40% of my tenure. But it's not about where you came from, just how you rep the team. Don't do it as a former laker, or as a Miami hater... just support the red, white and blue in good times and bad.

Here's hoping our success escalates from here on out, and that your first season with us proves to be a lucky charm.

Cheers.

Where's that RickBlaine troll? All chatty and talkative through the first two games, but now that his vaunted Boreacle crowd has failed to stop us from winning, he's gone silent.

That no call is the story of the game in the media. Watch the nba admit fault and then call nothing on them to make it up. They didn't play well enough to win, and we almost didn't play well enough to win with free throws, turnovers and fouls. Can't blame the officiating for last Saturday or this game. If you are relying on refs on a final shot, you didn't really play well enough to deserve the win. I'll take it, up 2-1 with home court. Would love to finish this off In 5 and physically prepare. I think a rematch with Memphis would be in order and would be a big challenge for blake. Right now he's bullying the warriors because they are overmatched. Zbo is the challenge.

This game shouldn't haven been that close. We missed way too many free throw but at least we still controlled most of the game. I don't think Mark Jackson is that good of a coach. He seldom doubles Blake and should let Curry run off screens to get him open looks cause when he's dominating the ball, he's not getting the open looks. If he's smart, he will adjust. I'm betting he won't and he continues to make our jobs easier.

Apparently, CP3 be talking all kinds of nasty to duds fans...

"Why don't you guys have your mother f'ing hero try and guard me like I just did him? He can't. Thought so!"

Same kind of stuff he's been saying in every post-game... daring Curry to try and check him.

I'm loving it!

I like how Warriors fans call CP3 a flopper even though Curry is the one who falls down after every shot attempt.

I seriously don't understand fans of other NBA teams. Did they honestly not see the numerous flops the Warriors committed all night long? Hell, Curry absolutely flopped on the last shot. Sure Paul touched him a bit, but not nearly enough to send him tumbling to the ground. Give me a break
